English Medium High

“The explanation of the propensity of the English people to portrait painting is to be found in their relish for a Fact. Let a man do the grandest things, fight the greatest battles, or be distinguished by the most brilliant personal heroism, yet the English people would prefer his portrait to a painting of the great deed. The likeness they can judge of; his existence is a Fact. But the truth of the picture of his deeds they cannot judge of, for they have no imagination.”
—Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)

“Life is amazing: and the teacher had better prepare himself to be a medium for that amazement.”
—Edward Blishen (b. 1920)

“And hearts that once beat high for praise
Now feel that pulse no more!”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
